still warm at night

Warm southerlies, accompanied by quite a lot of rain, tempted me into trapping on 25th and 27th September. Both nights were reasonably productive, albeit without any notable migrants. Small Wainscots on both nights were the 4th and 5th Dingestow records, whilst August Thorn, Willow Beauty and Flame were all my latest ever records here. Classic autumn moths such as Frosted Orange, Black Rustic, Barred Sallow and Beaded Chestnut are appearing.
